France have recalled scrum-half Morgan Parra ahead of their Test with Samoa at the Stade de France on Saturday.

The Clermont Auvergne half-back comes back into the side in place of Maxime Machenaud who drops to the bench. And Parra's inclusion is one of three changes from the side that defeated Argentina last weekend in Lille.

Both of the other tweaks come in the front row with hooker Benjamin Kayser and loose-head Thomas Domingo starting at the expense of Dimitri Szarzewski and Yannick Forestier. And like Machenaud, the pair drop to the bench.
